Now, let's see if I can get through this post before life interferes and leaves it stuck in draft status for two months. Bets, anyone?
Look at this! The child has learned to play peekaboo! Along with learning how to open and close the pantry door, of course.
Playing with dry ice from a grocery trip:
Here are a few pictures of our trip to California, for Bryan and Amy's wedding, and extended to include a Weasie Week (thank you for including us!). These are literally all the pictures I managed to take, including none of the wedding. I'm hoping Grandma Jan comes through with a disk of the pictures from her camera. Hint, hint.
Evan's new "starship" floaty from Grandma-Auntie Martha, and hanging with the Stenbak girls:
Uncle John spearheaded a trip to the Santa Monica Beach (and pier). Good thing he did too - it was SO much fun!
Evan and Mama, playing in the waves:
Evan and Uncle John, also in those same waves:
Auntie Janine and Uncle Chris:
And sandy-handed Auntie Carolyn and Cousin Amelia:
The pier:
"Playing" piano with Cousin Rider:
Freshly showered boys (note the matching fuzzy heads):
EVERY kid has to have a picture in a box, right? Rite of passage, I'm thinking. Also a huge source of enjoyment, obviously!
Beautiful Auntie Kaycee and her nephews:
A little boy and his rocks:
Baby jail!
New swing... otherwise known as "The Only Reason Mama's Flowers Ever Get Watered."
And now, pictures of the amazing progress on the house. I just looked back through our older posts - it is just amazing how far we've come!! Hard to believe some days that we are now living in the upstairs, and are - hopefully - just weeks away from moving into the living room as well. Keep your fingers crossed that carpet order/install goes off without a hitch!.
Living room with finished walls, glass block installed in the half-bath wall (have I done a picture of the finished ceilings yet? If not, finished ceilings, too!), tile around the stove, and a cute baby.
Close-up of the tile around the door. And a cute baby.
Close-up of the glass block section. No cute baby, I'm afraid.
And new stairs with the angled landing, and liner board (or whatever you call it), ready for carpet! Cute baby toy. Or strange baby toy, you decide.
That little stair nook will be the eventual home of the roll-top desk, and the entire living room will be the eventual home of all the furniture we have stored in the shed, as well as much of the furniture from the kitchen/dining area. Do you think we're maybe just a little bit excited about that? More soon!
I was also terrible about taking pictures for the entire month of July, I'm afraid, so we have the following relatively poor offering (still a ridiculously cute subject, however).
Evan and Cousin Rider, playing in the "toy pit" that our living room has become. Or, I should say, kitchen and dining room, because we are mere weeks away from moving into our actual living room (more on that later).
